Independence, Together
Winter brings cold temperatures, wet weather and darker days — all of which place more strain on mobility scooters and powered mobility equipment. A winter service ensures your scooter stays safe, reliable and performing at its best, giving you complete peace of mind during the colder months.
Regular servicing not only improves day-to-day performance but also helps extend the life of your equipment and reduces the risk of costly repairs later.

Local support across Lancashire: Our Service Centre team coordinates home engineer visits for servicing, repairs and safety checks — keeping your mobility equipment running smoothly throughout winter.
Why Winter Servicing Is Essential
- Cold temperatures reduce battery performance and travel range. A service includes a full battery health check to ensure it is providing the correct voltage and power.
- Wet, icy surfaces demand reliable tyres and brakes. Your service includes tyre tread/pressure checks and a full brake system inspection to keep you safe on slippery ground.
- Preventative maintenance avoids breakdowns. Winter increases the likelihood of components loosening or wearing out — servicing catches issues early.
What’s Included in a Mobility Scooter Winter Service
A full winter service covers 50+ individual checks, including:
1) Battery & Power Check
We test your battery to ensure it delivers the correct voltage and power output for winter conditions. Reduced efficiency in low temperatures can limit your scooter’s travel range.
2) Tyre Inspection
Your tyres are inspected for tread depth and pressure to ensure they are suitable for winter surfaces. Worn tyres reduce grip and can shorten your scooter’s effective travel distance.
3) Full Brake & Emergency Brake Safety Check
Your braking system is checked thoroughly for safety and performance. For larger Class 3 scooters, the emergency handbrake is tested to ensure it engages correctly.
4) Lighting & Visibility Check
Darker days mean visibility is essential. We inspect:
- Front and rear lights
- Indicators
- Horn
to ensure everything is working exactly as it should.
5) Structural, Steering & Fixings Check
We tighten any components that naturally loosen over time, including:
- Seat
- Wing mirrors
- Steering column
- Basket
- Frame fixings
6) Lubrication & Anti-Rust Protection
All moving parts are lubricated to prevent rust build-up during the winter months, helping your scooter run smoothly and feel like new again.
